this is a good product!!

this looks like a great product!!, on site i went and had a talk to the guys building the steam room and while talking to them i noticed that they where fitting the boards to the walls and together with a foam like this , it could be the same stuff but its a lot easier than dot and dab!!

The walls have got to be very flat with that amount of foam.............

The guy knows his plastering starting in the middle of a wall:yikes:

As Whitebeam says, ok on a flat wall, I wonder what load it will take, also not sure about using it on stud walls, surely screws would be cheaper, but I do like the concept.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

we are all thinking OK on a flat wall but surly with the foam expanding ,it should overcome the undulations of an uneven wall!!

 

[White Room]

But could the expansion push the boards slightly out

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

good point beam!! i dont know, i need to try the stuff first!!

 

[White Room]

I'll stick to the plasterboard adhesive if need be

It's good stuff but tends to push the board out on smaller cuts. Only used it on three jobs, had a dot n dab job last week and I went back to using bagged dri-wall adhesive, messyer but feels a lot more solid to me;-)

dry wall addy for me gooner as you can put dabs where you know you'll have fixtures and fittings screwed in.

 

[merlecollins]

Not convinced by that stuff at all - for pretty much the same reasons as already mentioned

Once the foam starts expanding....:mad2:

 

[peckers]

seen this on the shelves in the builders marchants but had the same thoughts as the others!!

There are english versions of this method..:lol:

C,mon get real.. unless perfectly flat then it will not work.

It works and its great......just not for tiling onto. I have used it quite a lot on window reveals and raising cills etc. Worth having a can in the van.

One thing it is great for is when you have a known void on dot and dab boards that have been fitted in the conventional manner. You can punch small holes in teh boards and inject the foam to fill it. I use this method ofr fitting kitchen wall units so the boards dont snap when you do the fixings up.

Replaced a damaged bit of wall this week that was dot n dab. So I cut out the damaged part and as you said in your post used the foam to strengthen the part of the board. Still used bagged stuff for the half board I replaced tho.
